An Underdog That Dares Poem by Aniruddha Pathak

Innerwear, for long an underdog,
From hush-hush to headlines do now hog.
Well out of the closet,
Designers do them set,
Supermen swimmers dive, sprinters jog,
And the rest watch agog!
Models may have the flair,
Flesh to flaunt, wear and dare
With a stand-alone piece,
But whilst bare bodies dare,
The rest are left to stare,
If not, give it a miss.

Innerwear of varied nomenclature, were mostly underdogs till recently, not talked about in public. Private laundry baskets were always dried discretely, and were available only in one colour— any shade as long as it is white. But they are now flaunted in public, though no one except Superman wears it over the outer garment. Times sure are a changing.
